When I was writing my previous post, I had not been feeling particularly down or unhappy. I was just exploring some of the difficult feelings that I had been experiencing from time to time since having Austin. I had a lovely response to it and for a moment, I felt strangely exposed. I didn’t mean to alarm anyone but writing my feelings out is usually how I process them.
Today, though, I have a wonderful feeling of lightness. I feel unburdened, as though simply acknowledging how I was feeling was enough to make me feel a lot better.
I have had a pretty productive morning – listed some baby items on Gumtree, put away the grocery shopping delivery , been to the Post Office, put on some laundry, written a blog post for my teaching website… and I just feel so calm. I will enjoy floating as long as it lasts.
